Weirdest Episode Ever: Darkwing Duck Goes to Twin Peaks
Added 2023-04-23 18:30:40 +0000 UTC“Twin Beaks” (February 10, 1992)
At the same time, it makes perfect sense and it seems very strange that a children’s cartoon would parody Twin Peaks, but that is exactly what Darkwing Duck did, waterlogged corpse wrapped in plastic and everything. For this bonus WEE, you get not only the history of both Darkwing Duck and Twin Peaks, but also you get to hear bits of an interview about it that Drew did with Darkwing creator Tad Stones back in 2014… and have never seen the light of day until now. Let’s get Lynchian!
For a history of the Scrooge McDuck comics and how they ended up onscreen as Ducktales, listen to the What a Cartoon episode about it.
Why yes, Drew did in fact compile a list of all the instances of doubling on the original Twin Peaks.
Watch Sesame Street’s own Twin Peaks parody, which is also called Twin Beaks.
The logo for Weirdest Episode Ever was designed by Ian O’Phelan. The theme music was composed by Nick Loiacano.
